Choose your car for a more accurate estimate

Hi there. From the description you have provided, I’m not sure running a recently overhauled engine over 4,000 rpm is a good idea. There is a 500 mile break-in period recommended by most rebuilders. Change the engine oil and filter after the break-in period, then drive it hard. Assuming you are past the break-in, it could be a fuel delivery issue such as a fuel pump or fuel filter. It could also be due to a restricted exhaust system, such as a partially plugged catalytic converter. To have all of this checked, I recommend having your vehicle’s power problem diagnosed and repaired by a certified technician, like one from YourMechanic.
